Underwriter - Senior Underwriter IFG Companies Employee Review

For 30+ years, IFG Companies/Burlington/Guilford has struggled to make a footprint in the E&S marketplace. While I cannot speak for the previous management team that was booted for the current "management team", the leaders of this organization are in fact not leaders at all. They refuse to acknowledge the company's lack of insurance products across all lines and instead place blame on the line underwriters. They lead by fear and threaten the struggling departments with ominous messages of firings if they cannot meet their unreasonable, lofty sales goals (remember - there is NOTHING competitive about their products, so you will fail). It is not surprising that new employees must sign employment contracts that are completely foreign to our industry, making it nearly impossible to accept better employment opportunities at competing insurers. My advice to anyone even remotely considering a position at this "Insurance Company": Just don't.
